i couldn't quite believe what ely said. sure, it's quite funny, why you hate me..and yes, as much as i want to be mean..i probably won't..cos i feel a responsibility to the store. mat talked some sense into me, he said if you feel responsible to the store, you should take action. i might not take action and correct you all the time (since you think i do it in a way that's unpleasant to you, i apparently know too much and that offends you.), i'm not gonna pick on you either because that'll make the working environment pretty bad for the rest of the partners. i love them too much to do that. and i realise i'd feel bad about picking on you. (except unless you piss me off bad enough. then sorry, you asked for it.)
i also won't change my guiding style for one person. that's just the way i am. i'm not obliged to please everyone. why give a fuck about everyone when clearly, not everyone gives a fuck about me? come to think of it, i'm not even obliged to correct your mistakes and tell you everything i know. i don't even keep track of what i know. but i know there's plenty i don't know. which is what makes working really fun.
but i have to say this. after 2 months, how can you not be able to drink call properly? and how can you not know the recipes? you have no excuse if can recall what i learnt after not practising it for a good 8 months or so. make no mistake, there's plenty i still have to learn. and i want to learn. that's the difference between you and i, maybe. that i want to learn, and you don't seem to. it was heartening when today, while re-calibrating the thermometers, elfe stopped me in mid action and said... "wait!!!! show me how to do it!!!" haha...i was so proud of her! and yes..though i remembered how to re-calibrate them, i couldn't, cos i lacked sheer strength to twist the little knob that turns the needle. it's a man's job.
i really do enjoy work at wisma...it is fun. politics is minor. and the people are mostly a pretty fantastic bunch! it definitely is different from harbourfront. but i'll never compare the 2 experiences. the people make all the difference. the partners from harbourfront were a star bunch and they're the icing on my starbucks cake. that bunch of people is irreplaceable. the wisma settings are wayyyyy different from the harbourfront ones, and i have a different sort of fun with them. working makes me happyy happyyy happyyyy! so yay!! (:
strangely, i'm not all that clumsy at wisma. (let's hope i'm not speaking too soon..)
